Remember OAP Daddy Freeze spoke about Nigerians not appreciating raw talents when it
comes to education? Well Ayodele Dada who has been declared the best student so far
in the history of UNILAG when he scored a Cumulative Grade Point
Average of 5.00, which has never been recorded by any student of any department
since the institution came to existence, is now about to start living on the streets
because his landlord is about to evict him due to his non-payment of house
rent.

Daddy Freeze got hold of him, invited him over, interviewed
him and then brought it to instagram where he tagged some Nigerians including
Sujimoto who gave Olajumoke and her family an apartment to live in for free.
The good news is that Siju has now replied, asking Freeze to let them meet him
and see what he can do. Freeze also called on other Nigerians to please be of
help to him and let’s celebrate value for once. What Freeze wrote on instagram after the
cut.

You know Dencia don’t JOKE! And you know the last thing that
will get the singer to smile is when you do anything to tarnish the image of
her products. She dragged it out with world famous Lupita Nyong'o when she
tried to smear her products.

Unfortunately for Mecran cosmetics, who just made Toke
Makinwa their brand ambassador, they took one of Dencia’s photos online,
cleaned her company’s name and posted it as the outcome of their products. A very
angry Dencia through her company’s official IG Page @whitenicious then called
out Toke and Mecran saying if they don’t stop, she would be have to drag them
to court.

Shortly after the calling out, Mecran products apologised over
the mistake, saying an overzealous staff did, and just then Dencia went more in
on them, saying, they shouldn’t apologose because oyt was done on purpose
especially to deceive clients! The drama then continued with potential clients
getting in. All the messy details below…

Grinning from ear to ear, this is Bobbi Kristina Brown's
boyfriend Nick Gordon yesterday - the day that the horrific details of her
death were detailed as her autopsy was published.

The official document showed how she had alcohol and four
different drugs in her system when she was found face-down in the bath of her
suburban Atlanta home.

It detailed scars on her head and body, missing teeth, and
the ravages and indignities she suffered during the seven months she spent in a
coma before finally succumbing to the effects of the time she spent in the
water.

Last month he put his $325,000 Maybach limousine up for sale
on eBay. And it's quickly becoming apparent why he would part with his
bulletproof ride, as TMZ reports that Charlie Sheen is complaining that he is
essentially out of money and cannot make his child support payments.

The 50-year-old Two and a Half Men star currently pays
$55,000 a month to Brooke Mueller, 38, to support their two children, Bob and
Max, both six years old.

According to the publication, Charlie had been making
$613,000 a month from his Two and a Half Men residual payments.

Oh dear, when lawmakers, fathers, assumed role models in the
society fight, lol. By the way, Senator Melaye started it o, he should have
just made his statement without mentioning Gov. Oshiomhole’s name o.

You will recall that it was reported on Wednesday that the
senator representing Kogi West in the National Assembly, Mr. Dino Melaye, made
a reference to Governor Oshiomhole’s marriage to his Cape Verdean wife, Iara,
while urging Nigerians to focus on “made-in-Nigeria women”.

He had said, “We will also move in order to encourage
made-in-Nigeria products and begin to talk about made-in-Nigeria women.

“Apologies to my uncle, the Governor of Edo State, we must,
as a people, stop paying dowries in dollars and pounds. It is time for my
colleagues here to become born-again.”

Friends of Yunusa, the 18-year-old man that whisked
14-year-old Ese Oruru away to Kano from Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital,
have appealed to the Federal Government to forgive their workmate.

Yunusa’s friends, who were seen around the stall on Michael
Street, Opolu, where they usually gather before and after everyday’s work,
described the action of the Kano-born commercial tricycle operator as
condemnable.

One of Yunusa’s close friends, Ibrahim Mohammed, who said he
was not aware that his friend had planned to elope with Ese, urged government
to consider Yunusa’s age (18), warn him and allow him to go.

Few days ago, Ruth Kadiri had posted a photo of herself and
girlfriends on her instagram page and even though 75percent of her fans saw
nothing wrong with it and praised them for their beauty, 25percent others read
another meaning to it calling the actress a lesbian. Saturday Beats however
reached out to her on the phone asking her to clarify the controversial photo and
Ruth said this;

“I am not a lesbian, it was just a harmless picture I took
with my friends while we were about to set out to a private beach to have some
fun. I think the picture was taken during the Valentine season or one of those
festive seasons. The ironic thing is that our boyfriends were there when we
took the picture. I am not a lesbian and I can never be one.”

The Singer's first babymama who doesn't really like the
spotlight and clearly not hung up in dating the father of her son posted this last
night on her twitter page...it’s obvious who she's referring to...

Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole has approved a five per
cent increase in the Consolidated Medical Salary Scale of medical doctors in
Edo State. The Governor made the announcement when he received the National
Secretary General of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) and Executives of
the State Chapter of the union in Government House, Benin City. Oshiomhole
said;

“I believe wages and payment of wages is a right and not a
privilege you dispense when you are comfortable and I want us to retain the
best brains in our hospitals.

I have argued in previously that our doctors are not
inferior to any other doctor including those working for the Federal Government
and therefore, there is ordinarily no reason why our doctors should earn N1
less than any other doctor of the same qualification in any other part of the
country. Continue...

Bobbi Kristina Brown died from a combination of alcohol,
drugs and drowning - but it's still unclear whether her death was murder,
suicide or an accident, Daily Mail reports.

The Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office in Atlanta
released a statement Friday morning - on what would have been Bobbi Kristina's
23rd birthday - about her death as it prepares to release the full autopsy
report.

According to the statement, Bobbi Kristina died of lobar
pneumonia, which was caused by the combination of drugs found in her system,
drowning and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy - a neurological condition
resulting from a lack of oxygen to the brain.

You will recall that at least 3 people died and many were injured yesterday when Hausas and Yorubas clashed at the Mile 12 market which led to the Governor of the state immediately closing down the market. But despite that, photos taken this morning at the market by twitter user @isadiran shows business is still on-going, though might not be as much as a usual market day. More photos below.

if he was alive. But Femi’s reply to him was more than EPIC….

Donald Trump assured a national television audience last
night that he's not lacking in the manhood department. Marco Rubio has
suggested that Trump has 'small hands,' and that it could indicate another body
part could be undersized.

Trump immediately brought it up during a Fox News debate at
the Fox Theatre in Detroit.

'He hit my hands. Nobody has ever hit my hands. I've never
heard of this one. Look at those hands. Are they small hands? And he referred
to my hands – if they're small, something else must be small,' Trump said,
recalling a Rubio rally this week as he waved his hands to the audience. I
guarantee you there's no problem. I guarantee.'

of Swanky's signatures styling on instagram. He started following him last night.
TY also posted a photo of himself and Swanky on his IG page when they met in
New York.

boyfriend's tongue during a passionate kiss. Shakeia Long, 37, was sharing a

tongue.

Horrified Williams managed to grab the piece of flesh and

He is believed to have flagged down a passing police officer
and was taken to hospital. Williams struggled to speak but was able to tell the
officer "She bit off my tongue", the warrant says.

She's no stranger to upping the ante when it comes to
pushing the boundaries. So for her latest shoot for British Vogue, Rihanna smoulders
as she goes topless and models a pair of risqué waist high denim boots from her
collaboration with Manolo Blahnik.

Speaking about her new collection, Rihanna quipped that the
boots will get potential buyers in trouble due to the message they send out. When
asked if she would wear the unconventional number to a date: 'Depends on what
kind of date you are trying to have. 'Guuurrrl! Those boots are dangerous! If
you're trying to get back home to your bed, don't wear them boots! You will get
kidnapped in those boots, those boots are trouble.' (sic)

She also told how the day she spies someone in her designs
it will be an epic moment in her career. 'The day I see a woman in the street
wearing my shoes... I am sorry for that woman. 'I'm going to literally run
after her, shouting, 'Stop! Selfie! Who are you? Where did you get them?' I'm
going to have a moment!'

Held at BHM Lounge, in Lagos, the event saw Davido listen to
